Neither. I do other things while the OP/ED is playing, I don't watch'em nor skip them.

I watch the op and ed for the first episode, then after I decide I like them or not I may or may not watch them.

No. Even ones I don't like I watch (or, at least, listen to while I'm doing something else) or else there's a 50% my computer will panic and I'll have to start from the beginning once more. This and, well, I don't think I could be bothered enough to skip one and an half minute of an episode.

I never skip openings, but I frequently skip endings. Even if the opening is bad, I still don't skip it because I can't be bothered :/ I can open other tabs and check other things while the opening is happening anyway..

But with endings, I can just close the video and move on to the next episode instead of watching them. The only time I don't skip endings is if there's more story after it, or if it's a really good ending.

I watch them the first time and if I like it then I watch it all the time, if not then I skip them.

Pretty sure I've said this before in a thread similar to this one. I'd usually watch it first time around to see how it is. If it's good then I usually watch the opening in the next episodes. If it isn't to my tastes then I just skip it. Even if the OP is good I do still skip sometimes.

Depends on whether or not I like the OP and if I'm in a rush to finish episodes.

I m a binge watcher, so i watch opening in the first episode only and then i skip them for later part of the series. But there are some exceptions like--
- First opening of Nanatsu no Tazai
- First opening song of FMA:B
- Some war arc opening in Naruto Shippuden

Openings usually contain spoilers so I just listen to the song once without watching the opening and skip it for the rest of the episodes.

Openings are as important as any other thing in anime. I am pretty sure many people out there think so too.

I always watch them. I think they're an important part of animes identity and often they put me in the right mood for watching that particular anime.

For instance the only opening I watch every time this season is Beatless's.

Yeah, It's great! The best opening song this season I think.

It actually depends on the song. If I really like it, I would watch them but if it's not that interesting for me I would totally skip it.

Almost always complete unless I hate. Usually if I hate an op that much. I drop the anime before even finishing the episode.

I never skip them. Well, unless they're boring and dull.

Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber!
Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route!

I almost always watch them. The only time I don't is when I'm in a rush to finish the anime and/or I dislike it.

There's not a whole lot I dislike though.

Generally–

First Episode (Or Second, if it's not in the first) – Watch

Following Episodes – Skip

I'll only watch beyond the first time if I really like the opening. Just don't really care for them generally, especially if I'm trying to watch a couple episodes in one session. I'd rather just skip right to the episode.

I almost always watch them because I'm not about to get up from the sofa and walk to the laptop everytime a new episode plays

But if I'm on my phone/PC instead of tv I potentially may skip it if I don't like the song. That's very rare though, I'm mostly neutral

Really depends on the mood. But there is not a single anime where I have watched all the OPs/EDs, ain't got time for that.

I almost always skip it. There are some that I don't, but for the most part I do every single time.

Fairy Tail always had spoilers in their OP, so it's easier to skip and not get spoiled.

Depends. If I'm binging a show alone I'll typically skip them to utilize time for efficiently, unless I like the song or presentation, in which case I'll enjoy it at my leisure.

If I'm watching seasonal releases with the usual friends, we watch it. This is over the internet of course, so more than likely we'll let the animation play but I'll be on a different tab. I do this because of spoiler exposure.

Now hear me out, I'm the kind of person who actually loves spoilers. They don't deter me from watching or enjoying a series when I stumble across them or seek them out (both occur frequently). At the same time, I don't like the nature of anime OPs foreshadowing it's content. It's series highlights looses impact when they occur because I'm expecting to see them. That's different than wanting to know, or even, running across a spoiler unplanned, because it is planned. Every week, for a minute and a half.

The best example I can think of is the BHA second season opening. It showcases key fights in that arc that I had no exposure to at all, so when they occurred it's impact was grand. Afterwards I had saw that it was apart of the OP all along. I had the thought of 'I'm glad I didn't know that was going to happen' in that moment. Maybe I'm just peculiar like that.

So again, it depends.
Sometimes I'm not even thinking about it.

If I'm so eager to watch the next episode to see what will happen, then I'll skip the OP. As for the ED I skip it most if the time.

I usually watch them once or twice, and then only skip them when I don't want to do some exercise during the OP.

If openings are boring and songs are bad why not? Same with endings tho...
I don't have to watch something bad 12 or more times.

Watch it for the first couple of times then skip if I don't like it (this rarely happens actually) or most likely alt-tab for 1:30 while listening to the music. I think ops add a certain flair to a show.

There was like one opening I couldn't stand so I just simply skipped it but aside from that one, I always watch them.
I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes.

Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that.
It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers.
